The good, the bad and the ugly

G8 in Germany is getting closer every day, people are demonstrating online and in real life since a few weeks already. See for yourself on the government website, the attac website,the ver.di-Website and the Website on the alternative summit. Careful though: they're trying to spy on you and your computer...
The big action will start this weekend, with a demonstration in Rostock and a camp. There's a huge concert on the 7th in Rostock, with famous musicians, for free. Try to get some tickets in time. If you can't make it: The concert will be live on the internet as well.
Police and government seem eager to stop the protests with means never heard off in Germany before. I wonder what they are afraid of.
Yesterday I saw a group of about seven bikers in Berlin main station, with flags and signs showing they are on their way to Heiligendamm. At least ten policemen and women were surrounding them and running behind them. Unbelievable!
They can't stop the demonstrations though. There's one online tonight in "Second life", starting at 8 pm, for about one hour in front of virtual Paulskirche in virtual Frankfurt.
Tomorrow is children's day. And UNICEF is calling for action to remind the G8 of their duties and promises. You can join as well, even online. I did so, check for Annette in the crowd of online demonstraters, and then do something small to make this world a better place as well! For the people, not the big money!
